  • Comments: For my first race, I had an awesome time. I had some great cheering sections (thanks Karen, Mike, Kristin, Gary, Joanne, Luke & Liam) and I had a lot of fun. I will really work on my running and more on my swimming for the next one, but this was a blast.

  • Comments: I think the Danskin series is super for a first time participant. The focus was on getting out there an doing it - and not necessarily about doing it fast. I met plenty of women that had done several tri's so those with more experience don't need steer clear of the series. As a first timer, it was nice to have plenty of company at the swim start all wondering exactly the same thing - "why was it I thought this was such a good idea!!!" It was great to be able to meet a few of the BT'ers that I have chatted with over the weeks of training and put faces with the screen names. Over all I would have to say this one goes down in the books as a success!

  • Comments: What an emotional experience! Great race for a first timer. So many ways to inspire others and be inspired by others. I joked often that it was Carol's fault/Carol's idea and I did it because she made me, but I'm really glad she asked me to do this with her. Besides the bonding experience, I know that I'm a changed woman. As it says on the medal they gave everyone - the woman who starts the race is not the same woman who finishes the race. So true! I know that I'm going to take this with me throughout every aspect of my life.

  • Comments: This was a WONDERFUL first triathlon for me. I loved the fact it was on Sandy Hook, a favorite work-out place of mine, and I will probably do it again next year just because of that. I loved my Team Danskin Training Group - the practice mini-tri really helped me prepare for race day. I can't say enough good things about this race!

  • Comments: It was completely awesome to be there with other women. The comraderie was the best. It was great to see women of all ages, shapes and sizes out there. For my first triathlon I couldn't have picked a better one. Oh yes. Bug spray. Don't forget the bug spray.

  • Comments: Getting out of the parking lot was a bear, and I SAW people with bananas after the race but didn't really end up in the right directon for post-race food or anything. Other than that, the race was really well done and I can't wait to improve my times next year!!

  • Comments: This was the first all women race I've done and it was a lot of fun! The pre-race expo was great with a lot of free give aways. There were plenty of nice volunteers and the course was fun. I would definately do this race again next year.
